How it Works

Cruise through the list of services included in our management package…it’s easy to do, they are listed below.

Send us a note using the form below. We’ll schedule a quick phone call to get acquainted and discuss any pressing issues you may have.

We’ll evaluate your site and identify any issues to take care of. We’ll clearly let you know what they are, how we plan going to fix them, and how long it will take. This includes things like ensuring your website-related accounts are in order with strong passwords and options for improved site performance. We can talk about migrating your site or email to new servers if we think you’d benefit from doing so. And we’ll answer all your questions.

Once the initial Health Check is done, we will do regular ongoing updates and backups to keep your site running smoothly. Minor fixes will be done automatically and major changes are offered at a discount only available to members.

Included in your service plan

WordPress Updates

Keeping WordPress up-to-date is the most effective way to ensure your site keeps running smoothly. Mike is a WordPress core contributor so he knows when updates are coming and understands how they will affect your site. We’ll make sure all security fixes are applied and verified.

Plugin Updates

Plugins add great new features to your site, but keeping them updated can be nerve-wracking: will an update work properly? Are there changes that affect your site? We’ll handle all this for you and fix any issues that may come up.

Disaster recovery

A proven recovery plan is essential if disaster strikes, and we’ve got you covered. Your database and files are encrypted and backed up to a secure cloud server. Multiple copies are kept to maximize recovery options. Nobody likes to think about the worst case scenario, so don’t. Because you won’t need to.

Site Heartbeat

If your website went down right now, would you know? How long would it take for you to notice? This is called “uptime monitoring,” and is included in your plan. Within minutes of your site going down for any reason, we’ll be notified and and can begin work towards finding a solution.

Healthcheck

When you first sign up, we’ll go through your site and identify any problem areas which should be addressed. Together, we’ll make sure all your website-related accounts (registrar, DNS host, web host, mail server) are in order with strong passwords. We can talk about migrating your site or email to new servers if I think you’d benefit from doing so. And I’ll answer all your questions.

Optimization

Like everything else, databases can benefit from periodic TLC. Optimization improves performance and reduces the risk of database corruption. This will keep the brains of your site cobweb-free and more responsive.

Site Protection

A good firewall does many things to keep your site safe, but they all fall under one heading: keeping bad guys out. The type of firewall we install depends on the history you have had with hacks, how risk averse you are, and what your budget is. I’ll advise you on which option is the best for your needs, and do all the tricky configuration for you.

In addition to all the above, you get access to Mike, a senior WordPress developer. He’s ready to help with anything your site needs, including host migration, password security, and general WordPress questions. Custom development for your site is not included, but is offered at a discount for managed sites.
